Catherine McCord created her company Weelicious when her children were young as a resource for parents to show them how easy it is to expose children to wholesome, delicious and homemade food. Her website provides hundreds of recipes which are simple, nutritious and flavoursome and created with children in mind. She's written two cookbooks: Weelicious: One Family and Weelicious Lunches. Catherine's goals are to inspire the reader with readily available ingredients; recipes which are fast, fresh and easy. I have started to use her website a lot and love her book Weelicious: One Family. Here's a conversation between Catherine and DHB:

It’s great to meet you Catherine. Can you tell us what and who inspired you to start your brand?

I had attended culinary school, worked in restaurants and catering companies for years. After I had my son, Kenya, I realized I could cook a gourmet meal but had no idea how or what to feed a baby. I started Weelicious as a place where parents could find fast, easy and fresh recipes for the entire family (plus tons of feeding and cooking tips).

Roast chicken, mashed potatoes, sautéed greens and a big hot fudge sundae which I would enjoy with a big group of brilliant female entrepreneurs.

Which items will we always find in your fridge?

Greek yogurt, whole, skim and almond milk, berries, bee pollen, eggs and seaweed. The truth is our fridge is always packed, so you can find a lot of good stuff to eat.

Where in the world inspires you the most and which country serves your favorite food?

This has to be a trick question. I started modeling and traveling around the world when I was 13 years old, so world cuisine has always been a major source of inspiration. Mexico, France and Japanese are at the top of my list.

Where do you go to relax and how do you relax?

Honestly, playing board games with my kids at night is one of the most relaxing things I do. No outside distractions, just good ole fun.

Do you go for spa treatments and have you ever been on a health spa/retreat?

If so, what are your favorite treatments and where is your favourite spa/retreat? I love We Care in Palm Springs I’ve been going for years. If you’re trying to reset your mind and body, lose weight, quit smoking or just get clean it’s the ultimate. I love their body scrubs, facials and colonics to help detoxify.
